According to IGN, the lawsuit between publisher Activision and Infinity Ward Employees Group (IWEG) will go to court on May 23, 2011. The lawsuit stems from IWEG claiming that Activision hasn’t paid the full royalty for Modern Warfare 2. IWEG claims Activision used royalty fees as a leverage so Infinity Ward would work on Modern Warfare 3.

Overall, there are 38 employees in the lawsuit. Infinity Ward’s CEO Jason West and PresidentVince Zampella also has a separate lawsuit against Activision, stating they haven’t been paid royalties. The trial is scheduled to start on the same date as the other lawsuit.

There’s always two sides to a story so I can’t make a judgment on the lawsuit alone. I’m sure the truth will come next May. I just wish they didn’t have this conflict so I can play Modern Warfare 3 sooner than later.
